Player Watch Ed Allan

[footballsack35]

Only 62% TOG. In Fly's presser you could tell he was happy with how Ed played.
By next year he should be getting 75% TOG and full time inside mid/tagger.
Just needs to work on disposal.
Persist.

Ed cracked into some contests harder than I’ve ever seen from him last night. Didn’t get to watch the second half where it seems like he did quite well, but I was even pleased with his intent in the first half, honestly.

I wonder if he has a contract extension in front of him?

I am sure Freo would be watching closely

Given our midfield deficiencies, not sure we can afford to abandon just as he starts to show some green shoots. Tricky one

Allan has a wonderful footballer build. I get frustrated when a player does not develop and the same issues do not go away. He has been stepping up in the VFL and AFL. Each game. Well done Ed. OOC 2026. The idea of a multi is starting to sit well. Play him. Watch him.

He lacks some footy smarts, but a super athlete
Tagging makes sense at this stage of career
Fly will have to change his structures though as he doesn’t like to tag regularly
